Stop these Dem Congressmen from Hurting Israel

54 Democrat Congressmen Told Obama to Pressure Israel -
Call Now! Tell them they're wrong!


By now, you've probably heard that 54 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives (no Republicans) sent a letter to President Obama - a letter in which they urge him to pressure Israel to loosen security measures on Israel's border with Hamas-controlled Gaza.

This is outrageous. And we need to raise our voices to respond!

These security measures were implemented to counter the threat from terrorism originating from the Hamas-controlled Gaza strip.

Not a single Republican member signed on. But the fact remains that one in five Democrats in Congress have called on the President to pressure Israel. Unbelievably, they want him to demand an end to measures imposed to fight against terrorism.

These 54 Democrats expressed no concern whatsoever about the consequences their ideas might have for Israelis living under the threat of terrorism from Gaza!

RJC activists need to let these badly misguided Democrats know that their shameful act has been noticed and that Jewish Americans won't stand for it.

Call now and tell the "Gaza 54":

As Americans and supporters of Israel's right of self-defense, we reject your call for pressure on our beleaguered ally. And we demand that you take a firm stand against terrorism.
